Lots of people pointing out the sketchy weigh-in for Khabib. The official called 155 almost immediately after he stepped on, without the scale ever settling, and swept it away quickly. Compared to every other fighter where they let the scale arm move up, then settle, then read. Khabib stepped on and declared 155 within seconds.

I’m convinced he missed weight by his own reaction. Not that I really care. I need to see this fight.

Khabib weigh in was definetly sketchy. The fight would still go on of he missed, but he'd only get like 20% right?

A tough weight cut also makes for a potentially weaker Khabib. Tony had cleary lost some of his pop from his weight cuts. Gaethje looked like he didn't cut hardly any weight at all.

I thought he had to take everything off to weigh in?

I’m assuming he weighed in once then took off his trunks then back on the scale?

that was crazy sketchy. he steps on the scale and the arm is on a constant rise, then before the arm settles in the middle, the judge swept it off fully to the right. i know gaethje won't care, but id be pissed.
